Preamble
Biomedical science is the application of biology-based sciences for medical use. Studies in biomedical sciences will bring out the application of biological sciences such as physiology, anatomy, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology , biochemistry and others to build up knowledge, skills and competences to build on to diagnose, manage and prevent diseases. Other aspects covered include application in health monitoring, product development, biomedical research and innovation, medical education in the various health professional training institutions and regulation of medical and pharmaceutical practice.
Medicine and healthcare have over the past decade became increasingly sophisticated, demanding cross cutting knowledge and skills for effective delivery. The demands of the health sector have also expanded tremendously well beyond the traditional health professionals like the doctors, nurses, and pharmacists because of the ever increasing specialisation. These traditional cadres because of the competing demands can no longer address all aspects of biomedical research, and training To address this challenge, the School of Biomedical Sciences at the college of health sciences proposes to start a three-year bachelor of biomedical sciences program. The program is expected to produce knowledgeable and skilled bio-medical scientists who will take part in various aspects of biomedical science, including health professional training and medical education, health care delivery and biomedical basic science research. In addition, while the training of Doctors and dental surgeons take 5 years , the first 3 years are spent mastering the basic biomedical sciences, constituting the first block which are prerequisite ,after which they continue to clinical medicine clerkships to qualify, This proposed program is an innovation, such that after the first 3 years these students can graduate with bachelor of biomedical sciences, after which they can continue on the different tracks of post graduate education. That may include enrolment on the various biomedical science masters programs, masters in public health, clinical epidymiology, management, and seeking employment as teachers or tutors in the various health professional, training institutions, or working with research institutions, industries, health sector, self employment, and in addition, pursuing further training in medicine to become doctors, nurses ,and dental surgeons.
Justification
Uganda is experiencing a very rapid population growth, which for a long time has not been matched with sufficient health care delivery, up to date the doctor patient ratio is above 1:12,000, this indicator is even worse for other graduate health professionals such as nurses, dental surgeons to mention a few, as such Uganda and the region has continued to experience a human resource crisis in the health sector ..
The training of these health professionals requires well trained, adequate biomedical science teachers who are very endangered since, its increasingly difficult to attract medical doctors to these areas when there are more juicy options in other medical disciplines, this has made all the basic sciences graduate programmes very reddudant,attracting less than 3 students a year if lucky and yet not the top grades,
Further more, the training of Doctors in Uganda, by private institutions is almost impossible because of what it costs to establish basic science laboratories and facilities for the training doctors and other health professionals in the first 3 years , leave alone the scarcity of the basic science teachers who are being shared among the few medical schools that are coming up,
At the College of Health Sciences, we are blessed with these laboratory facilities, experise,resources and Teachers , and can take advantage of this to train biomedical scientists, in the core biomedical sciences and after graduation, they can be admitted to start on the clinical years of medicine, and dentistry like is done in the western world, even institutions with no basic science facilities, but with only teaching hospitals, can now be able to train doctors picking from this pool of graduates. And through this track, the country and the region can be able to train enough doctors to match the population needs, and gradually improve the doctor patient ratio .
After graduating, Those who don’t aspire for medicine, can take on the masters track in any of the basic science option of their choice such as microbiology,, and by so doing all the basic science masters programs can have pool to admit from, and these will boost the biomedical science teachers in the region, some of who will continue as researchers, teachers tutors and can join other health disciplines like public health,epidymiology,bioinformatics research ethics and management in biomedical industries. There is also an increase in number of health professional training institutions, who could for the first time recruit these biomedical scientists.
The biomedical research sector has grown tremendous needing this cadre of expertise for employment.
These trends demand the presences of biomedical scientists to provide the required human resource that will accelerate the growth of these sectors. It should be noted that most of these sectors are relying on the limited numbers Doctors for their functioning worsening the human resources crisis in the health sector.
This program will help to alleviate this problem by providing biomedical scientists who have the desired expertise to fill the Human resource gaps that compete for medical doctors in health care delivery.
This program also offers an alternative track for students to obtain qualifications in various areas of interest within biomedical and other health related sciences. This is consistent with the current government policy on the promotion of and increasing student intake in science subjects at all educational levels.
Program goal
To build capacity for enhancement of excellence in health care delivery, biomedical research ,Biomedical training, and acceleration of the training of medical doctors and dentists, and Improved medical education in all tertially health training institutions, both public and private in Uganda and the region at large.
Specific program objectives
1. To produce biomedical scientists with sufficient competencies to enrol on clinical medicine, and other health professional programs, as a postgraduate program.
2. To train biomedical science graduates with knowledge and skills to support health care delivery in any community in Uganda and the region.
3. To equip graduates with knowledge and skills for safe and scientific biomedical practices.
4. To produce biomedical science graduates with sufficient Knowledge skills, and ethical conduct to work as part of a team in health care delivery.
5. To produce biomedical science graduates with the necessary entrepreneurial and managerial skills to support biomedical industries in the country
6. To produce biomedical scientists with sufficient competencies to conduct biomedical research
7. To produce biomedical scientists with sufficient competencies to undertake graduate training in the same specialities to become teachers in biomedical sciences in the various tertiary health professional training institutions in the region.
Curriculum Competencies
In order to achieve these objectives emphasis has been put not only on science subjects but also the behavioural sciences, management, and communication, humanities and social sciences applied to medicine. It is expected that this will emphasise to the students that the university is a place of learning rather than teaching. Integrated learning will be done as much as possible to emphasise the following areas in which the biomedical science graduate should be competent:
- Modern biomedical techniques
- Medical research and diagnostic procedures
- Health promotion and prevention of disease
- Scientific research methods
- Management, administration and entrepreneurial skills
- Teaching and learning
- Community leadership
- Biomedical ethics
Curriculum characteristics
This program is made up of short courses that run for 2 to 5 weeks. The courses are sequenced in such a way that one builds on the knowledge of the previous course.
Integration
The medical discipline is characterized by a high level of specialization with a number of well developed specialties. Human function however works as an integral unit. This curriculum integrates the learning experiences both horizontally and vertically. Horizontal integration breaks down the boundaries between disciplines like: Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry that other wise would be taught independently but concurrently to provide a package of learning experiences of the Biomedical Sciences. This does away with the compartmentalization and eliminates repetition of subject content. Vertical integration ensures that all levels of the learning spiral are integrated, thus students are exposed to Basic Sciences, Clinical experiences and community health activities right from first year.
Problem based approach to learning
This curriculum provides a mix of tutorials, self directed learning sessions, laboratory sessions, seminars, clinical exposure, Clinical clerkship, over view lecturers, and community based education activities. Small group tutorials guided by real life problems will be the predominant mode of delivery. Students in groups of 5-7 under the guidance of a tutor will explore the problem before them and determine their learning objectives. The learning objectives will then be used as a guide in the self-directed learning sessions. Students will have a report back session during which a tutor will test the competences developed out of the problem. This approach to learning is known to encourage active student learning, critical and analytical thinking, problem solving and promotes life long learning skills. It however requires investment into learning facilities namely; library, computer laboratory and skills training laboratory which shall be put in place by the launch of the program and will be progressively developed.
Community based education activities
Students will randomly distributed to rural health facilities where they will be involved in the community health program of the facility. In the guidance of a site tutor students will support health delivery at the facility and all activities their activities will be recorded and presented for progressive assessment. This will help the students acquaint themselves with the settings in which they will be practicing after qualification.
Regulations
The program shall be governed by the general regulations of the university and the regulations of the College of health Sciences.
